Rickards Math Invitational

Welcome from the Director

Dear Competitors,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 James S. Rickards Fall Invitational. Each year, our student-run team works tirelessly to design problems that promote the joy of mathematics.

We’re thrilled to host over 1,000 participants in person on Saturday, November 14, and to open our mail-in division to schools nationwide. After the tests are submitted, we’ll reveal the results and honor the top performers.

Thank you to everyone who attended last year's event. Your enthusiasm is central to what makes our Invitational succeed. However, we've noted and fixed various concerns you had from last year.

This year, we're debuting a new, streamlined process that will make it easier than ever for students to participate and coaches to register. We'll be sending more details regarding this process in a series of email updates closer to the event.

Thank you for your passion and dedication. I look forward to an unforgettable day of problem-solving.

Sincerely,
Rakesh Raj
Director, Rickards Math Invitational
